Ananta Unveiled: Project Mugen Officially Named

Ananta: NetEase's Open-World RPG Unveiled

NetEase Games and Naked Rain's Project Mugen has finally been revealed as Ananta, an urban open-world RPG. A new promotional video and teaser trailer showcase gameplay and introduce the game's official title.

The preview offers a clearer picture of Ananta's world, characters, and the looming threat of chaotic forces. Nova City, a sprawling metropolis, serves as the game's backdrop, teeming with diverse characters battling otherworldly enemies.

While comparisons to MiHoYo's titles, particularly Zenless Zone Zero, are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself, especially in its fluid movement system. The game blends charming characters with dynamic combat, a formula popular in modern 3D RPGs.

Impressive Mobility

The PV highlights impressive character movement. Whether this translates to seamless traversal across Nova City's streets and rooftops remains to be seen, but the potential for Spider-Man-style exploration is certainly intriguing.

Ananta shares similarities with MiHoYo's Hoyoverse titles like Genshin Impact, but NetEase aims to carve its own niche in the 3D gacha RPG market. The ultimate question is whether Ananta can stand out and potentially challenge the established leaders in the genre.
